Objective To investigate the feature of pathogen distribution and antibiotic resistance of venti-lator associated pneumonia from Jan.to Dec,2007 in our ICU in order to provide a reference data guiding the appro-priate use of clinical antibiotics.Methods The 148 VAP cases of pathogen and drug sensitive tests were retrospec-tively analyzed.Results The incidence rate of VAP was 70.81%.Klebsiella pneumoniae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Escherichia coli,Acinetobacter sp were the top pathogen of Gram negative bacillus.Staphylococcus aureus (MBSA)was the major pathogen of Gram positive coccus.The resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were very high.The effect rates of frequently used antibiotics were not satisfactory.The fungus infection rate was 6.76% among all the cases.Conclusion MRSA,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aerugmosa are the major pathogens of VAP in our ICU with a high drug resistance rate.Gram negative bacillus is the major Pathogen of VAP with a faidy high drug resistance rate.

BACKGROUND:Locking compression plate and dynamic hip screw are the two major extramedul ary fixations for the femoral intertrochanteric fractures, however, the comparison of the clinical efficacy between two methods is stil controversial. OBJECTIVE:To systematical y evaluate the clinical efficacy of locking compression plate versus dynamic hip screw in the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fractures, and provide a theoretical basis for clinical application. METHODS:Authors searched for control ed studies on locking compression plate and dynamic hip screw in the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fractures in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP periodical database, Wanfang resource database, Chinese Biomedical Literature service systems published from January 1999 to April 2014. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were made, and the literature meeting the criteria was screened, and the methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated. Meta-analysis was carried out using the RevMan 5.2 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Ultimately 682 patients from 8 studies met the inclusion criteria, including 336 patients in the locking compression plate group and 346 patients in the dynamic hip screw group. Meta-analysis results showed that:there were no statistical y significant differences in operating time [MD=-12.07, 95%CI (-29.85, 5.71), P=0.18], peri-operative bleeding loss [MD=-15.01, 95%CI (-87.85, 57.83), P=0.69], post-operation drainage [MD=-13.62, 95%CI (-28.49, 1.26), P=0.07], ambulation time [MD=-0.14, 95%CI (-0.68, 0.41), P=0.63], length of hospitalization [MD=-0.74, 95%CI (-2.29, 0.82), P=0.35], bone union time [MD=-1.18, 95%CI (-2.78, 0.42), P=0.15] between locking compression plate and dynamic hip screw groups. The excellent and good rate of postoperative hip function reduction [OR=2.03, 95%CI (1.23, 3.36), P=0.006] was significantly higher in locking compression plate group than in the dynamic hip screw group. The incidence of coxa vara was lower in the locking compression plate group than in the dynamic hip screw group [OR=0.34, 95%CI (0.12, 0.96), P=0.04]. There were no significant differences in looseness, breakage, withdrawal of internal fixation [OR=1.20, 95%CI (0.59, 2.45), P=0.61] and the incidence of total complications [OR=0.55, 95%CI (0.24, 1.28), P=0.16] between locking compression plate and dynamic hip screw groups. However, the included studies have high possibility of selection bias and measurement bias, and wil affect proof strength of results. Therefore, more clinical randomized control ed studies with compact design are needed for verification.

COVID-19 associated Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) caused by peripheral nerve damage after SARS-CoV-2 infection is one of the most common COVID-19 related nervous system inflammatory diseases, with high incidence of respiratory failure and mortality. Positive SARS-CoV-2 RNA in cerebrospinal fluid of COVID-19 associated GBS patients has been rarely reported. This paper reports 4 patients with COVID-19 associated GBS in China who developed neurological symptoms 4-15 days after fever and were confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. All patients presented with progressive weakness of both lower limbs, 3 patients with autonomic dysfunction such as defecation and urination disorders, and 1 patient with polycranial neuritis and Miller-Fisher syndrome such as bilateral facial palsy, dysphagia, diplopia and ataxia. Nerve conduction velocity and F wave were abnormal in 3 patients, and motor conduction pathway was abnormal in 1 patient. Anti-ganglioside antibodies were tested in 3 patients, and GD1a-IgG was positive in 1 patient. All 4 patients underwent metagenomic next-generation sequencing examination in blood and cerebrospinal fluid. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was positive in blood and cerebrospinal fluid of 3 patients, and SARS-CoV-2 RNA was positive in cerebrospinal fluid of 1 patient.
